Lady Slow Down
The moon will come out when the sun goes down.
It still takes 24 hours for this ol’ world to go 'round.
Lively Lady Slow Down
You speak of tomorrow as if it were yesterday.
With all the tomorrows behind you
What has become of today?
Hey Lady Slow Down
You'll miss life's rainbow traveling at the speed of sound
Take the time to see what you've already found.
Lovely Lady Slow Down
Yesterday’s fate was a lesson with a price to pay
While tomorrows destiny is chosen today.
Lucky Lady Slow Down
This is your chance, a second time around
Don't risk missing what isn't easily found.
Lovely Lady Slow Down

Growing up is such a hard thing to do
They don't understand what you're going through
They don't remember the hurt or pain
They can't see where the scars will remain
They tell us love will come again
It really doesn't mater to them
It's only 'puppy love' from their point of view
If only they realized, this love is true
I can't wait for the day I am grown
When my life is my own

Growing (cont)

Growing up is such a hard thing to do
They don't understand what you're going through
You try to protect them from the hurt and pain
To save them from making your mistakes again
If only they'd listen to your words and believe
Your intentions are loyal, not meant to deceive
You smile and remember your first beau
The pain has lessened now, time has made it so
I hope I never fail in making you see
I do remember how it use to be

Growing (cont)

Growing old is such a hard thing to do
They don't understand what you're going through
They can't feel the aches and pains
Or comprehend the stress and strain
You look back to the time when you were young
And smile with pride at all you have done
Your baby girl is all grown
And has three boys of her own
The years flew by and now I can see
Just how hard growing can be

There was a time my heart wasn’t as cold.
Once I owned a heart of gold.
Till one day I came to see,
Hearts of gold break too easily.
I only have too cheeks to turn,
Both were black and blue before I learned,
A heart can break only so many times,
Before it’s time to draw the line.
Life’s a ***** and it’s time to be
Just as ****** as life treats me.
So I learned to bite as well as growl.
No longer do I throw in the towel.
There is no more tears for these eyes to cry,
...Cause Life’s A ***** And So Am I.

Never in my life did I expect to see
A blue moon shine its light on me
Or wish upon a star and hope to believe
That star would twinkle, then fall for me
Only in my thoughts did I fantasize
Of a secret night for you and I
Until fate chose to let me see
Life isn’t always how you expect it to be
Little could I know
But soon came to see
Memories would be better
Than fantasies
Now when I begin to dream of you
Instead I remember the dream that came true
